Synopsis

For the 5th year, Lydia Gable of Keller Williams Realty and Rick Winters of Winters Financial Group will hold their annual Coats-for-Casa Pacifica charity event at Three Springs Park in Westlake Village. This year, the event is a week early -- the idea is to benefit kids that need coats more than ever due to the particularly cold temperatures the area has been experiencing.

Saturday, January 10th from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. they will have the annual coat collection and are having a "huge truck load of snow delivered for the day, This community event is a great opportunity to bring the whole family for complimentary snow play and sledding, coffee and smoothies, and winter crafts."

They simply ask you to "bring new or gently used winter clothes of all sizes, including coats, sweaters, hoodies, mittens/gloves, winter hats and scarves, to benefit Casa Pacifica in Camarillo – a facility that provides emergency shelter, medical assessment and treatment, and a host of other services to children removed from their homes for abuse and neglect. The agency also provides community-based interventions for children and families in need."

Additional Details

Last year, 1400+ winter articles of clothing were donated – coats, sweaters, hats, gloves, and scarves. “Casa Pacifica expects to care for and help more than 4,000 children this year, and struggling families,” say Lydia and Rick. “Your coat donation will help Casa Pacifica provide these children and their families a warm, basic necessity for the cold winter months ahead.”

If you are unable to share in the Winter Coat Drive fun but would like to donate, please contact Lydia or Rick to make other arrangements. Lydia Gable, Keller Williams, 818.383.4335, Lydia@lydiagable.com or Rick Winters, Winters Financial Group, 805.497.1717, Rick@WFGINC.com
